Hi, @SoaringFeathers!I'm not really helpful. -_- But here are some tips (from @Zachyswag) that were given to me when I joined! They are helpful for figuring out a bit about Hopscotch.

Zachyswag:

welcome to the forum!There are lots of fun things to do on here! To check out the latest conversations, click the latest tab!

Things to remember!Always be nice - no one likes being treated badly! Treat people the way you would wanna be treated!Don't start flamewars - This one's obvious, but don't start flamewars. Flamewars are basically HUGE arguments in topics!Don't tag too much - people don't really like it when their constantly tagged! You can tag people every once in a while, but not every post!

Ask for help when you need it - Don't keep wondering if your program will stink! Ask for help!The trust levels!@trust_level_0 - The starting level for everyone.@trust_level_1 - This one you will get quick, it gives you basic features for everything!

@trust_level_3 - WOAH! This ones a toughy! You need to be on for 50 days within a 100 day timeframe, and read 20k posts, but this proves your a real hopscotchers@trust_level_4 - no one can get this right now.

Welcome to the forum! ((here are tips of the page format))The icon at the top, with your pvp, clicking on it, you have 4 options-clicking the person to take you to your profile-The 'flag' or banner that has your saves-the gear for settings-notifications underneath

The hopscotch in big letters takes you to the home page, where you can view topics. There is a search, and more information in the 3 lines.

Hope this helps on getting places on the forum! remember to stay on topic, don't be inappropriate, don't spam, and to try to be nice. If you ever need help, you can @ me at @ColorlessCanvas

Er, I actually don't really know how to use the forum though. Any help/advice? Thanks, -SF

By asking for help... you have unleashed my long speech... I am sorry:

Hi, I'm @Jojo! Welcome to the Forum, here's a breakdown of the main stuff you want to know:

What is Hopscotch?

Hopscotch is a programming language developed by Hopscotch Technologies (THT), designed to allow beginner programmers to code simple projects like games and art! It's simple and allows its users to drag and drop blocks to create code that can be played when the "play" button is pressed. It is called Hopscotch, because like the street game, you have to make it before you can play it!

You can code games, art and share them with your friends, family and the WHOLE Hopscotch community! You can even play other people's projects to see what they made! It's a great way to start learning to code some pretty great things and I can't wait to see what you make!

Hopscotch Forum Language:

For example, a game or some pixel artNip: No problemAnd we like to use xD a lot

Trust Levels on The Hopscotch Forum:

@trust_level_0: The rank that you start with@trust_level_1: Basic, it takes less than a day to achieve and you've probably got it already!@trust_level_2: Member! Be active for a few days-weeks and you should be able to achieve this rank. You get some more replies and some more likes because liking other people's posts is fun!@trust_level_3: Regular! You need to be on for 50 days in less than 100 days, and read 20000 posts! Regular goes to good people who don't get into arguments so try not to get involved if someone else gets into one, you could get flagged or suspended which will lower your chances of getting regular.@trust_level_4: Only the Hopscotch Team can get this! Something happened and cut a long story short, the old Leaders aren't leaders anymore and no one can get it.

Help!

There are a lot of places where you can get help from! Try checking out other new people's topics, there could be some helpful info on there! You can also try looking at topics teaching you new things, like my topic:

The Newbies Guide to Hopscotch
Prologue:
There are a lot of "I'm new to the Forum/Hopscotch" topics and there are a lot of topics that explain how to use the Forum, but what if we combined EVERYTHING into one topic?

This Wiki Topic will allow EVERYONE to edit EVERYTHING all into one, awesome Topic! Please keep this bookmarked or have it on Wa…

You can also tag a whole bunch of people by using the Official Mass Tag List... or the OMTL for short:

I have seen people complain about The Mass Tag list currently in use, and we need new guidelines.
Please, copy directly off of this topic when using the Mass Tag list. It will annoy you, I know, but it will constantly change.
Here are the new guidelines for adding and using the mass tag list.
Add yourself only Do not add other people to the mass tag list. I'll see all of the edits, so I'll correct you if you added someone else's name, on accident or on purpose.
Don't use the tag li…

Add yourself to it if you like but don't abuse it or people will get really mad xD

Tag me if you ever need any help!

Just tag me by putting "@" before my name "Jojo" (like this: @Jojo) and I'll get a Notification saying that you need my help! I'll come over as soon as possible to help you!

Well, that's all! Thanks for reading everything! Good luck and I hope you have a great time on the Forum and using Hopscotch, bye bye!
